Bad: Monday after a holiday -- any holiday
Bad: Sitting down at the computer and missing the ledge on which I set my coffee cup, thus spilling a good quarter cup of hot/black on me and the keyboard
Bad: no "n, h, y and 6" keys even after blow drying and cotton swab surgery
Bad: Not being able to even pay a bill online without "n, h, y and 6" keys and spending a good part of Monday to get my computer back
Bad: being entirely too dependent on computers
Good: AppleCare. And even though the Apple "genius" "wasn't suppose to" replace the keyboard from my mishap, she did anyway.
Good: new keyboard
Good: a peppermint chocolate milkshake at the Chick-fil-a in the mall where the Apple store is
Bad: losing a day of school
Good: losing a day of school (sometimes you just need to lose a day of school)
Good: getting back on the horse on Tuesday and knowing it's a four-day week now!

Glad you got your new keyboard! That's a big one--we have the stripped down version, but it's wireless.
ReplyDeleteWe'll be missing a LOT of school in the next few weeks.
I once knocked over an entire glass of delicious wine (and I hadn't even taken a first sip yet...really) onto our keyboard...what a yummy smelling but very sticky mess. It took a long time to clean.
ReplyDeleteGlad you got a new keyboard.
Frankly I'd be more upset about the lost cup of coffee.
ReplyDeleteSad but true.
PEPPERMINT CHOCOLATE MILKSHAKE!
ReplyDeleteUm, excuse me... got carried away there.
But I AM so excited that it's THAT TIME of year again.
:P
Good: just to be alive and happy for you!
ReplyDeleteBad: living in HI where there are NO Chick-fil-A's and having to be jealous of your milkshake!
It is big, Sara. I saw the little minis at the Apple store, but I like having the number pad -- especially when calculating grades!
ReplyDeleteOh, Cheryl, I would cry over spilled wine! I read online that you can actually put a keyboard in the dishwasher (!) and then leave it in a warm spot to dry for a week or so. Unfortunately I didn't have a spare on hand to test it.
Margaret,
I could make another pot of coffee but the keyboard would have been $70. I love my coffee but I'm kind of cheap that way. Now Cheryl's wine? I would have cried.
'Tis that time, Meg. I don't normally go to the mall (in fact, I did not even know there was an Apple store there until the Apple guy told me), but I was willing to walk upstairs to check to see if Chick-fil-a had peppermint milkshakes.
Sarah,
Until a few years ago we had no Chick-fil-a's in Columbus either. I must say the McDonald's Southern Chicken is a pretty close sandwich, but, alas, no peppermint milkshakes!
hope you're doing better, barb!
ReplyDeletei lost a day of school myself. this time of year is particulary rough on us. my mind wanders...and the children easily follow me nowhere. fast.
i came here thinking you did a knitting post! and wanted to tell you i can't wait to try that cap you were making. i printed the directions and it is "filed" under "projects". when i actually will have a chance to get to it remains to be seen. but a girl can dream, right?
these teenagers are KILLING me...
thinking of you and wishing you well across the miles!
xo.
It's Chick-Fil-A night here, since they're sponsoring a fund-raiser for Middle Sister's school choir. I'll have to make the sacrifice and try that milkshake.
